The night is getting darker.
Everyone had left for a long time, but Xu Lang still refused to sleep peacefully. He was like a tireless machine, meditating for a long time under the candlelight.
In the northern suburbs, Changsha County has been torn open. Although the eldest prince's troops may be hundreds of thousands, they may be stretched thin when a fire breaks out in the backyard.
Victory seems to come easily.
What he was worried about was how to capture Changsha County at the minimum cost.
But, it's not easy.
Once the two armies engage in battle, especially as the general said, Changsha County is no longer in danger, then a close encounter will inevitably result in a bloody massacre.
"well……"
Xu Lang couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha, my wise nephew is young and promising, why is he sighing alone?"
Unexpectedly, before the sigh stopped, someone had already pushed the door open and entered.
"Senior Chuchen!"
Xu Lang shouted.
The person who came was none other than Taoist Master Chuchen who was sent by him to confront General Ling Yue with the Sun brothers. Behind him, Sun Da and Sun two stood with their hands hanging down.
"My dear nephew, I'm really ashamed that I couldn't come in time!"
Taoist Master Chuchen and Xu Lang held hands and shook their heads.
"Senior Chuchen, you're welcome. It's best if you come back safely!"
Xu Lang didn't mind. As he spoke, he looked at the Sun brothers again, only to find that both brothers were injured and looked a little guilty.
"Sun Da, Sun Er, did you encounter enemy troops?"
He walked up to the two of them with concern and carefully examined their injuries.
I saw a long gash on Sun Da's arm, scratches on his calf, and blood seeping out from Sun Er's ribs. Apparently, he was almost hit by someone.
"Alas, the three of us could have rushed back in time, but unexpectedly, after crossing the Xiangjiang River, we encountered people from the Prince's Mansion. These people saw through our hiding place and finally blocked us in a secluded place. …”
Taoist Master Chuchen also sighed and told what happened.
They did get in touch with General Ling Yue, and according to Xu Lang's plan, they agreed on a time for the two armies to attack at the same time. Therefore, when Xu Lang captured Beijiao City, Ling Yue was not idle either. He immediately pressed forward with all fronts and launched another wave of attacks, leaving the eldest prince exhausted on defense. Even though he knew there was a fire in the backyard, he was unable to divide his troops.
However, the Sun brothers are from the northwest after all, and their accents are different from those of Xiang. A person who didn't pay attention was actually spotted by someone from the Prince's Mansion who specialized in keeping an eye on enemies. Therefore, we handed over our hands.
Although not all of those people are top-notch in martial arts, it is not easy to deal with them either. The three of them spent a lot of effort and killed several people before they were able to get out. Behind them, the sky was getting dark, and the three of them finally got rid of them with the help of their light skills and the cover of the night.
"This is a letter from General Ling Yue."
Sun Er took out a letter from his clothes. There was some blood on the letter.
"Come here, take the two commanders down quickly to treat their injuries!"
Xu Lang didn't open the letter in a hurry, but shouted outside the door. You can read the letter slowly, but the injuries of the Sun brothers cannot be delayed any longer.
Sun Da and Sun Er looked at Xu Lang gratefully and bowed deeply.
"Senior Chuchen, you should rest early. Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Lang looked at Taoist Master Chuchen again. He was extremely skilled in martial arts and was unscathed. However, he was always looking tired after running away all the way.
"That's fine, my dear nephew, if there is a place where I can be of use, just tell me."
Taoist Master Chuchen was not polite, he cupped his hands and walked out the door.
After they left, Xu Lang opened the letter and read it carefully.
In fact, Ling Yue didn't say anything. He just wanted Xu Lang's three armies to march as planned tomorrow, while he also launched a full-front attack so that the eldest prince would be too busy to think twice.
